2011 Dawes KARAKUM Touring Bike




We have touring bikes that satisfy the traditionalist as well as those seeking something a little more cutting edge. Take the Galaxy range for instance, using tubesets built with the excellent air hardening qualities from Reynolds or our own butted titanium tubesets for ultra lightness and unrivaled comfort. All are fitted with the highest quality equipment to safely escort you to your destination.

The KaraKum features a lightweight alloy frame and chromoly fork. Distinctive because of its butterfly handlebars it offers unrivaled comfort with multi riding positions on those long tours. A roll call of quality components consist of Shimano Deore 27 speed gears, Shimano hubs, Shimano V-brakes, Schwalbe Silento II tyres and an ultra comfy Dawes Gel saddle.
